The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

This was Li Weide's first time doing something like a gang robbing another gang, so he was really inexperienced.

Tom said disdainfully, "No matter how powerful they are, they are just Muggles. We are all wizards. Are we still afraid of those Muggles causing trouble?"

In Tom's eyes, these Muggles were no match for his "normal attack". No matter how many came, they could not pose any threat to him. He didn't understand why Levitra and Dumbledore thought this matter was serious.

"Tom, we may not be afraid, but what about Mrs. Cole and the others? What about the other children in the Wu Orphanage? Those people will find us sooner or later. Think about what will happen if they can't find us by then?" Li Weide stared at Tom closely. "This is our fault. We can't just ignore their lives! Let them bear the consequences for us."

Tom was speechless for a moment. In fact, he really wanted to nod and say that he didn't care about the lives of other people in the orphanage.

However, as his mood changed unconsciously, Tom's cold heart seemed to be ignited by Li Weide, so in the end he couldn't say such cruel words as "It has nothing to do with him."

"Then...then we just need to catch these guys first..."

Tom stammered for a long time before muttering these words in a low voice.

Li Weide quickly rejected Tom's idea.

"Even if we all have the ability to bring them to justice, we can't accurately find these people."

"If even one fish slips through the net, there will be endless troubles."

"Besides, even if they are sent to prison, they are so rich that they will definitely be able to reduce their sentences to the greatest extent possible."

"After they're released from prison... do you think they'll retaliate double?"

Tom snorted coldly, "Then just kill them all!"

"That's not a good idea, Tom. We can't just kill everyone who crosses us!"

Levid said, looking at Dumbledore calmly.

Although he also thought it would be best to kill all these guys, after all, each of them had blood on their hands.

But how could he say such words directly in front of Dumbledore? Wouldn't that arouse Dumbledore's suspicion?

Tom, you silly boy! You are still too young!

At this time, Dumbledore had been quietly observing their conversation for quite some time.

In his opinion, both Li Weide and Tom are actually very smart and courageous children.

And these two people seem to have completely opposite personalities.

The kind-hearted Li Weide and the indifferent Tom...

Dumbledore was most worried about Tom, as he knew the boy's character very well.

He couldn't predict what kind of terrible person such a cold-hearted, yet power-hungry child would become when he grew up.

But now, Dumbledore was pleased to find that under the influence of Levander, Tom, the lonely and indifferent child, actually began to have a glimmer of humanity in his heart!

This discovery made Dumbledore very happy, and he was also full of expectations for Levid.

He hoped that Li Weide's presence would help Tom gradually get back on track.

Even if Tom eventually loses control one day, Li Weide will definitely be able to subdue him...

Levander didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking at this time. He was just thinking about how to solve the big mess he had caused.

"Professor... do you have any way to keep the other people in Wu's Orphanage safe?" Levid turned and asked Dumbledore.

He believed that since Dumbledore was here, he should have a solution.

Because Dumbledore has always been a man who plans before taking action.

"We just need to divert the conflict." Sure enough, Dumbledore did not disappoint Levid.

"You told the rescued children before that the traffickers were all caught by the adults in your family, right?"

"That's right. There were only two of us at the time, and it was difficult to explain to them...so I just said that it was the adults in my family who subdued the criminals." Li Weide nodded.

"Hmm...that's right. Since you told the children this information, they must know it too." Dumbledore said leisurely, "What adult in this orphanage could have so easily subdued those vicious human traffickers? It couldn't have been Mrs. Cole, could it?"

Li Weide suddenly realized: "So, as long as we have nothing to do with the orphanage from beginning to end, they will not doubt the orphanage at all, because the orphanage does not have that kind of ability..."

"They will only suspect us of being part of another criminal organization that's robbing each other, and those so-called clues leading to the orphanage must be false clues."

"As long as we fabricate some more traces of this fake organization so they can find it and divert their attention, the orphanage will be safe."

"That's right, that's the truth." Dumbledore said with a smile, clapping his hands.

Tom frowned and said, "But we did come from an orphanage... How can we completely erase all traces of our time there?"

"Leave that to me, Tom," Dumbledore smiled. "We are wizards, aren't we? The wonder of magic is that it can easily transform decay into something magical..."

Li Weide suddenly seemed to think of something. "Professor, after all traces of us in the orphanage were completely erased, did Mrs. Cole and the others forget about us?"

Dumbledore sighed, "I'm sorry, Vader. I have to do this. Of course, if you don't want me to, I can think of another way."

Before Li Weide could say anything, Tom waved his hands and said, "I don't know what Weide thinks, but I don't mind at all. Anyway... in the eyes of Mrs. Cole and the others, I am a trouble... a scourge. The fact that they don't remember me is a real good thing for them..."

Dumbledore looked at Tom deeply, then at Levid.

"I have no objection. Anyway, even if she doesn't remember me, I will never forget her kindness to me..." Li Weide was also very straightforward.

In fact, Li Weide has been in this world for less than a month.

Although he was indeed grateful to Mrs. Cole for keeping him from living on the streets, it would be a bit hypocritical to say that he would be attached to this place because of this.

"Okay, let's do it this way. You guys pack your things now. Someone will come pick you up at daybreak... I also need to make some preparations first."

Chapter 23: Toby the House-Elf

After Dumbledore left, Tom went back to his room to pack his things.

Li Weide was naturally not idle either.

He didn't have much stuff to begin with, not even any extra clothes.

However, after the owl from Diagon Alley delivered his purchases, he suddenly had more things.

Li Weide found a big bag and put all these things in it.

Then he took the "Complete Solution to Low-Level Spells" and started reading it quietly.

Perhaps it was because he drank some physical strengthening potions in Diagon Alley, but he still couldn't sleep until midnight.

"Ding! It's the hour! At midnight, new items have appeared in the store!"

Suddenly, a familiar prompt sounded in my mind.

Li Weide put down the spell book and looked at the system mall as usual.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since the system mall has had any products that Li Weide can use now. I don’t know if there will be any surprises tonight.

[Item 1: "Transfiguration" (Unlocked) 1000 Merit Points]

[Item 2: House-Elf Butler (Unlocked) 300 Merit Points]

[Refresh time countdown: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 35 seconds]

Merit Points: 1400

Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved

"Finally they're shipped..." Li Weide looked at the two items happily.

["Transfiguration: Complete Guide": This book records all the basic knowledge of Transfiguration and includes the experiences and insights of all Transfiguration masters from ancient times to the present.]

Li Weide looked at the system instructions in shock.

Does it encompass the insights of all masters of transfiguration from ancient times to the present?

No wonder just one book is worth 1000 merit points!

Li Weide looked at the next item.

[House-elf Butler: An experienced house-elf who once served a pure-blooded dark wizard family. Due to the death of the last member of the family two weeks ago, this house-elf tragically gained freedom. Once the host chooses to purchase this house-elf, the host will become the master of this house-elf and will never betray him.]

This is the first time that a living creature has appeared in the system’s products!

However, Levid was still satisfied with this "product". Who doesn't want to have an experienced house-elf?

This is a rare and good helper!

What's more, this house-elf is so cheap, only requiring 300 merit points.

Li Weide did not hesitate and first bought "The Complete Guide to Transfiguration". With his previous experience, he exchanged the book for the simplified Chinese version.

The next second, a novel titled "The Count of Monte Cristo" suddenly appeared in his hands.

Apparently, this "Complete Guide to Transfiguration" has the same disguise as "Complete Guide to Low-Level Spells"!

After putting the books away, Li Weide started to buy the second item.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing a house-elf butler!"

"Ding! Host, please find the house-elf!"

As the system prompt sound ended, a small translucent map appeared in Li Weide's field of vision.

There is a very eye-catching red dot and a small arrow on the minimap.

Li Weide understood after careful observation.

The small arrow represents himself, and the red dot should be the location of the house-elf.

Li Weide discovered that the red dot was actually not far away from him.

But the red dot remained motionless on the map, which made Li Weide feel a little strange.

Is that house-elf sleeping? Otherwise, why is it so motionless?

However, Li Weide did not waste any time. He picked up a kerosene lamp and quietly left the orphanage.

Li Weide compared the map and walked along the muddy main street for about two hundred meters to the east, then turned into a small alley next to it.

The alley was narrow and dirty, and it emitted a disgusting stench from time to time.

Li Weide walked to the end of the alley, taking deep and shallow steps on the flooded ground.

In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Li Weide saw a tattered trash can.

And next to the trash can, there seemed to be a small figure lying.

"Ding! The host has arrived at the house-elf's side."

The system prompt sound ended, and the small map in Li Weide's perspective disappeared.

Li Weide put down the dim kerosene lamp and took out the wand from his pocket.

"Lumos!"

The light from the tip of the wand illuminated the dark alley.

There was a dying house-elf lying on the ground.

He was wearing a rag so dirty that his original color could no longer be seen, and his eyes, as big as tennis balls, were tightly closed.

Li Weide discovered that he had injuries of varying degrees on his face and body.

It seemed that he had been attacked with a sharp weapon not long ago, and he looked like he had fainted from excessive blood loss.

Despite such serious injuries, the house-elf did not die from excessive blood loss, but was still hanging on to his breath.

Li Weide guessed that it was probably the power of the system that temporarily saved his life after he purchased the goods.

No wonder it's so cheap, it's because he only has half his life left...

Thinking of this, Levid did not delay any longer and first used a cleaning spell to clean the dirt from the house-elf's wound.

Then he took out the white water that he had exchanged in the system before and sprinkled it carefully on his wound.

The white fresh water produced by the system was indeed very effective. As soon as it fell on his wounds, those wounds began to heal quickly!

After treating the wound, Li Wei De took out the remaining bottle of potion from today.

Because the function of this potion is to replenish energy and temporarily enhance physical strength, Levid was not as tired as Tom when he walked back today.

However, it seems to be useful now.

Levid held the wand in his mouth, and in the light of the wand, he lifted the elf's head with one hand, and with the other hand he slowly poured the remaining half bottle of potion into his mouth.

After a while.

"Cough cough cough..." The house-elf slowly opened his bloodshot eyes, and saw Levid standing right in front of him at first sight.
